Ally McCoist believes Gareth Bale should reject advances from Cardiff City and sign for Newcastle United. Real Madrid decided against renewing the Welsh superstar’s contract after nine trophy-laden years at the Bernabeu.
With the World Cup looming - Wales’ first since 1958 - rumours of an early retirement for Bale have been placed on hold as he aims to captain his country in Qatar. A short-term deal to allow him to retain his fitness is mooted, with hometown club Cardiff vying for his signature.
However, former Rangers and Sunderland striker McCoist thinks the 32-year-old is capable of competing at a higher level than the Championship - and has urged Newcastle to sign the forward.
